Ginger is important. Use medium firm pears. Don't bother with pretty slice arrangement. Slice and chop, no need to peel.

This is delicious. A winner with apples too.

This was great. Perfect for 4 people. I just soured some milk with lemon stead of using buttermilk.

Pear Salad

David made a pear salad for an activity and it was really good. I looked in a couple cookbooks and we ended up putting these things in the salad:

pears

bacon

walnuts

feta

red onion

shallots

Spring mix lettuce

And then used a red wine vinaigrette as dressing. It was really good! The pears were just right and it was total luck that they had ripened well and were juicy and good. Pears often seem to be grainy to me, but these were great.
